Multi-touch devices are quickly becoming a part of everyday life for large number of people. The latest ranges of smart phones all make use of this technology. Computer based music creation software is the latest in a line of software to make use of the multi-touch capabilities.

This Multi-touch Music Application allows users to group a range of different music samples together into Music Blocks. These blocks can then be used to create a song and also altered in real time to change the overall sound or repeat a certain section of the song. This application was split up and created in numerous sections before being crafted into one, fully functioning application. User evaluation was carried out to gain feedback on what the potential users thought of the final application. This feedback gave the overall impression that the final application was fun and intuitive to use and also gave an exciting new style of music creation.
